Trivia

• Happy Valley has lost in the League Cup for the 5th consecutive season.
• Happy Valley suffers their 7th consecutive losses in the final of local competitions.
• All three goals in the final were from free kicks. The goal of Happy Valley was from a Penalty kick while the two goals of Kitchee were from a Direct free kick and Indirect free kick respectively.
• The semi-finals were originally scheduled to play in Mong Kok Stadium. However, the 4 teams in the sem-finals suggested HKFA to move the matches to Hong Kong Stadium. However, after the matches, many football fans expressed their opinions that this is a main cause for the low attendance on that day.
